“How did you get through the growing pains of starting a small business?” This video is a big reason why, my family ❤️🏡✨🧵📦 Keeping it short and sweet this morning — this video just brings back so many emotions 🥰 After living away for 8 years (in Ottawa and then Toronto) I was feeling a little lost and tired of city life, when I unexpectedly moved home, I grew even closer to my family. To me — that is priceless 🌎 I thank you for that XXL FAM ☺️ Happy Thursday everyone, let’s make today count ✨ If you have a dream, an idea, or something you’ve wanted to start for a while... JUST. START. Your chances of success are much higher if you start! PSA: Dad still calls them “CRUNCHIES” 😉🙆🏻‍♀️ #smallbusiness #familybusiness #handmadewithlove #hidad #smallbusinesscheck #xxlscrunchie #smallbizjourney #smallbusinessjourney #smallbusinesscanada #entrepreneurjourney

✨Take this as a sign to keep going ✨ I had no clue one XXL Scrunchie would turn into a three year non stop rollercoaster of even more scrunchies, now claw clips, tote bags, mini and XXS Scrunchies. The greatest part? My family being a part of this journey, the team we’ve created and the customers who we like to call the XXL fam that thank us for keeping up their hair. I just posted on our insta story that I received a DM from someone who ordered weeks ago saying “I only buy nice hair things from the grocery store and your Scrunchie has forever changed my life. Been following you online forever and finally took a chance. SO WORTH IT.” Thank you Tiana and anyone for taking the time to leave us feedback. It fuels us and sometimes when I get caught up in the whole “running a business” aspect I’m reminded of our WHY and that is YOU ☺️ P.S. it’s my one day to sleep in and I just can’t! This usually happens when there is so much going on at work… we’ve got new scrunchies and a new product launching next week (headbands!) AND we’ve got an unreal new product we’re sharing at the end of the month. We’ve been working on it for a few months and can’t wait to share. It’s something that will help your hair AND skin! If you read this far.. thank you ☺️ Your support literally means the world to us, without it we wouldn’t be here. So lucky for the XXL FAM! I’m so grateful for you and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I can’t help but rely on you all for name suggestions, and now I need your help again! It’s hard to believe, but here I am asking for your input on what to name our NEW PUPPY. It’s important to me that the name is both “cute” and has a sense of “strength” for Jeff. We’re really struggling to come up with something, and my mind is completely empty. I think I’m just too EXCITED and IN SHOCK by the whole situation! My 10-year-old self always dreamed of owning a dog, and I never thought it was possible! I’m in for a LOT of work but I feel so lucky we have got a lot of support on our side helping me feel at ease with this life-changing moment 🥰 #newpuppy #puppynames #dognames #puppynameideas #newdogmom #newdogdad #PINCHMEIMDREAMING
